KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Brothers Molham and Mohammad Kayali spray-painted anti-government graffiti around Aleppo University in northern Syria in early 2012 and held up flags in protest against President Bashar al Assad's government. Worried that their lives were in danger, they gave up on school and fled to Turkey in September 2012.

They were reunited last year with their younger brother, Ebrahim, at Emporia State University, a small school in Kansas, joining among about 700 "academic refugees" now in the U.S. who either fled from the long-running violent conflict, attended universities that have closed or couldn't safely travel to schools in dangerous areas.

The Syrian conflict has displaced tens of thousands of students, and some schools in Syria were attacked, including in 2013 when at least 10 students were killed at an outdoor cafe at Damascus University.

I wonder how many are really refugees, and how many are infiltrators.

If you look at ADX Supermax on Google Maps, you can easily see how scalable it is.

Many of them are infiltrators looking for American women to marry to receive a license to stay here then set up “chains” to bring other Muslims across and repeat infinitum. This is part of their infiltration plan. I have talked with many people in Canada and Michigan who have already seen this a lot. Colleges are good places for them to find young inexperienced females that they can dominate and mold to do their bidding. It also gives them access to other Caucasian family members that they can use to help them achieve their goals because they are not usually auspected and watched llke Muslim people are. Watch them like a hawk

In Syria, Assad was the Moderate.
Thanks to our State Dept, we have more terrorists to deal with in America.
